Upon Yumi's first day of school, she accidentally incurs the wrath of Miyabi. Both quickly dislike the other, and every day, Yumi suffers constant abuse from him, causing her to gain sympathy from Toshio. As the two bond, Yumi decides to attend one of Orochi's lives on her accord, her rock-gal guise attracts Miyabi's attention and causes him to [[Loves My Alter Ego|fall in love with her]] without knowing who she truly is!

{{tropelist}}
* [[Abusive Parents]]: Toshio's father was a gambling addict and an alcoholic, which is the main cause of why Toshio's family is separated.

* [[Cameo]]: Two members of
* [[Character Blog]]: The main characters all have their own Formspring.me and [http://twitter.com/MangakaEmi/twtyh-roleplay Twitter accounts].
* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]: Yayoi is a borderline [[Clingy Jealous Girl]] and is protective of Miyabi, though it's unclear as to whether she really is jealous of Yumi or if she is upset that Miyabi is letting her get away with "messing Orochi up."
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Eizo gets out of touch with reality when he's daydreaming about Orochi... and he's ''always'' daydreaming about them.
* [[Covert Pervert]]: Miyabi mentions that Toshio looks at porno magazines as a substitute for not being able to get it on with Yumi.▼
* [[Cool Big Sis]]: Sayaka acts as one to the whole team, and is willing to give a [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]] slaps to her little brother if it means anything.
▲* [[Covert Pervert]]: Miyabi mentions that Toshio looks at porno magazines as a substitute for not being able to get it on with Yumi.
* [[Cute and Psycho]]: Yayoi, in spades.
* [[Dogged Nice Guy]]: Akito is one for Yayoi, while Miyabi slowly becomes one for Yumi. Sayaka is a female version for Toshio {{spoiler|until she starts dating Kazuki}}.
Line 47 ⟶ 45:
** [[The Chick]]: Akito
* [[Four-Temperament Ensemble]]: Miyabi is melancholic, Toshio is phlegmatic, Shuya is phlegmatic II, and Akito is sanguine.
* [[Genki Girl]]: When Yayoi isn't upset, her temperament is generally chipper.
* [[Gratuitous English]]: Sure, the comic is originally written in English, but there's also the matter of Alex, who speaks English fluently.
* [[Gratuitous German]]
* [[Happily Married]]: {{spoiler|Shuya and Musashi}} as of track 12.
* [[He
* [[Hopeless Suitor]]: Miyabi is one for Yumi, while Yayoi hopelessly pursues Miyabi, and Akito pursues ''her''.
* [[Hypocrite]]: {{spoiler|When Miyabi found about Toshio and Yumi enagement, he call out on Toshio this is just an excuse to have sex with her and saying Yumi is a fool for only falling in love with first guy she met. Never mind earlier with his relationship with Yayoi where Miyabi had sex with her and never love her back and then try to fall in love with her in order to forget about his feeling for Yumi}}
* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: Sayaka encourages Toshio and Yumi to get along despite that she has feelings for Toshio herself.
* [[Ill Girl]]: Yayoi is epileptic {{spoiler|and later develops mental issues}}.
* [[Jerk
* [[Keet]]: Akito.
* [[The Ladette]]: Musashi.
Line 66 ⟶ 65:
* [[Loves My Alter Ego]]: Miyabi falls in love with "Little Mouse", a nickname he uses to refer to Yumi in her rocker outfit.
* [[Manic Pixie Dream Girl]]: Yayoi intends to be this to Miyabi, though it goes in a way that doesn't end well.
* [[Missing Mom]]: Miyabi's mother, who he had been close to, died when he was in junior high. For Toshio, he has been unable to see her since his abusive father threatened to attack her if she returned.▼
* [[Memento MacGuffin]]: Yumi's jade necklace.

▲* [[Missing Mom]]: Miyabi's mother, who he had been close to, died when he was in junior high. For Toshio, he has been unable to see her since his abusive father threatened to attack her if she returned.
* [[No Guy Wants to Be Chased]]: This is how Miyabi treats Yayoi.
* [[Older Than They Look]]: At first glance, you wouldn't know that Toshio is 20 and Shuya is 22 unless you read their character profiles. This counts as [[Fridge Brilliance]] regarding to why they are attending class with Yumi, as Shuya and (probably) Toshio quit school early on in their lives.
* [[Only Known
* [[Papa Wolf]]: Screwing with Yayoi in any way (even physically!) will lead you with dealing with her daddy, Mitsuzaka.
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Miyabi's mother is [[Missing Mom|dead]] while he suffers a lot of [[Parental Neglect]] from his dad. Toshio was separated from his mother and sister when his parents divorced and has been unable to see them due to his violent, abusive father. He eventually moves away from him to Mitsuzaka's house when he joins Orochi. Similarly, Shuya cuts himself off from his parents, though the decision was mutual in the least.

▲* [[Power Trio]]: Yumi (ego), Miyoko (superego), and Eizo (id).
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Miyabi is the red to Toshio's blue.
* [[The Rival]]: Kazuki regards Miyabi and Orochi as his rival band, unable to forgive Miyabi for kicking him out of the very band ''he'' created.
Line 87 ⟶ 86:
* [[Tall, Dark and Snarky]]: Shuya, though Miyabi sometimes fits this trope on his occasions of snarkiness.
* [[Team Mom]]: Musashi holds this role firmly, which is [[Hilarious in Hindsight]] as {{spoiler|she's about to become a mother herself!}}
▲* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: Yumi gives one to Miyabi -- in a public supermarket, no less!
* [[Those Two Guys]]: Miyoko and Eizo to Yumi. Similarly, Atsuko and Minako deserve a mention as [[Those Two Girls]].
* [[Three Amigos]]: Yumi, Miyoko, and Eizo.
Line 94 ⟶ 92:
* [[Troubled but Cute]]: Miyabi, to an extent, fits this trope. Yayoi is also [[Troubled but Cute]], though it's more mentally than emotionally.
* [[Tsundere]]: Miyabi, when it comes to Yumi.
* [[Used to Be
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Miyabi and Toshio seem to argue frequently, but they actually get along really well otherwise.
* [[Yandere]]: Yayoi begins showing signs of this when she realizes Yumi is the cause of Miyabi's problems, and later falls into this point-blank.
